2 Cupcake Recipe (makes 12 to 14 cupcakes) 175g self raising flour 175g butter or margarine (softened) 175g caster sugar 1½ tsp baking powder 3 medium eggs Sieve Bowl Cupcake tray Electric whisk Cooling rack Baking cases 1. Preheat the oven to 180 C, 160 C fan, gas mark 4. Line tray with baking cases 2. Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl, then add the butter, caster sugar and eggs. Beat together until well mixed, for approximately 2 minutes. 3. Half fill individual cases with mixture and bake for minutes or until the tops spring back when pressed with your finger. 4. Remove cakes from tray and place on cooling rack to cool completely. Butter Icing 300g icing sugar 150g butter (softened) 1 tbsp milk 1 tsp Vanilla Essence Food colour (optional) If using butter icing, you can use a palette knife to spread it over each of the cupcakes, having a peaked or smooth effect, alternatively, you could use a piping bag or nozzle to achieve a piped effect. 2

3 Sugarpaste Icing For a level top to your cake, you will need to slice the peak off to give a flat finish. Knead a tennis ball sized piece of sugarpaste in your hand for a few minutes, until the paste becomes pliable like warm plasticine, and mould into a disk shape. If colouring, place a pea sized amount of colour in the centre of the disk and fold the sides in, encasing the colour. Continue to fold the sides in onto the colour, until you achieve a consistent colour. Add gradually until you achieve your desired strength of colour. Dust your work surface with a little icing sugar and roll out the sugarpaste, using a lightly dusted rolling pin, ensuring that the paste does not stick to the work surface. Using a round cutter, slightly smaller than the top of your cupcakes, cut out a circle to cover each cupcake. Use a small amount of butter icing to fix the circle to your cake. Glacé Icing 600g icing sugar 6 tbsp water (or 3 tbsp water & 3 tbsp lemon juice) Food colour (optional) Glacé icing can be applied by spooning 1-2 teaspoons onto the centre of the cupcake and allowing the icing to naturally spread over the cake. Cookie Dough Recipe 250g butter, softened 140g caster sugar 1 egg yolk 2 tsp vanilla extract 300g plain flour Rolling pin 1. Mix the butter and sugar in a large bowl with a wooden spoon. 2.
